Rosewood Manor. This was the place where the group had been invited to at 3 hours after sundown via a letter written in Round Hand calligraphy and black ink thrown into the letterboxes... So there they were standing in front of a big Baroque-style mansion having gotten through the ornate iron fence and past the guard house on the outside. As they arrived at the door, a large wooden door with iron fittings flanked by two rows of pillars carrying a small ornate balcony shielding the door from sun and rain. After a while the portal was opened by a black man in a butlers suit, gesturing them with a deep bow to enter. Inside they were confronted with big rooms with high ceilings and large windows, marble floors, copies of famous paintings and large gobelins on the walls, big marble statues standing in corners and near the staircases and colourful frescos on the ceilings. As they shut the door, the butler adressed them. "If the gentlemen and ladies would please follow me to the Waiting Room ? It might take a while for the Lady of the Manor to be ready to greet you. If you wish, I can have refreshments brought while you wait..." Edited by George Henry Harris, Thursday, 17. October 2013, 20:00.

This seemed more like a suicide mission than anything else. Demons? Cool. Aguirre’d never met one before. Maybe it would be like Supernatural. Couldn’t get any better unless she got to meet Jared Padalecki and Jenson Ackles in the process, but that was her inner fan girl speaking. Either way, the paycheck was larger than life… so that was a plus. That was the only plus, actually. She didn’t trust the people she would be working with, didn’t trust her employers, and most definitely did not appreciate the woman they were going after. She didn’t believe for a second that they would keep the woman alive once they got their wrinkly old hands on her, but she didn’t care. What she cared about was not getting killed by the other people going after Miss McMorran. If worse came to worst, she could fend for herself alright. Maybe Captain Obvious Scarface and Company wouldn’t get them all killed. ”S’pose I’m in as well.” |

Demetrios looked at them with an amused shark-like smile, pressing a button on the table while speaking to them. "If there are no more questions, I'd say you may leave to do some research on your own and whatever you need to do to succeed on your task... Remember to keep silent about this and don't contact us until you have the objects in question... We'll contact you, if we need to... Have a pleasant night." Then there was only silence until the door opened and the butler entered the room. After a short but very deep bow to Demetrios, he turned to the group and adressed them. "Sirs and Madams, if you'd follow me please, it'd be a pleasure to guide you outside..." After speaking these words he left, slow enough so that he could easily be followed and unlocked the elevator with keycard and hand scan. Then he led them through the spiralling corridors and finally the metal door into the entrance hall, where he opened the door for them. "A pleasant night and much success..." When all of them passed through the door he shut them again and over them the stars shone in the night sky... They were out of the building... Out to do their task and their best not to fail... What they did now was up to them... |

Lau was silent as they were escorted out. He was thinking. Once they were outside the house and manor, he turned to his comrades in arms. The place was remote enough from the city that only a road and an abandoned buss stop were visible in the distance. The night was clear, and without the clouds or the city lights, it was not black. Especially with vampire eyes. " The way i see it, we have several tasks. " He said. " First, we must make contact with the target and get her cooperation. She is not liable to have the jewels with her. " " So, secondly, we must get the jewels, or make her get them for us. " " Third, we must divert, distract, hinder and all together sabotage the efforts of the competition. " " Lastly, we must ensure that the mark survives this whole thing, no worse for wear, and preferably not knowing what happened to her. That also means protecting her from our employers, if they happened to lie to us. " Or omit somethings. It would not surprise him in the least. " So, we should also make contingency plans for scenarios, like Demetrios and Victoria stabbing us in the backs. " He looked at them in turn. " Anyone's got anything to add ?" |

Back to the surface, all the long way. "Couldn´t they have told us all of that in the villa? Why waste time wandering around under the ground? I really don´t understand, why all that fuss..."Ronnie uttered in an annoyed tone, as soon as they were outside the villa. "Cooperation? Well, to persuade her to that I could use supernatural means of persuasion...makes sense. Would be surprising if she´s willing to do what we want otherwise. And then she surely also would be willing to get us the jewellery. But first we have to find that woman..." To protect her from her employers? And how were they supposed to achieve that? Unlikely that it would work. |

" Exactly. " Lau said. " They could have told us all that in the Villa. Makes me wonder why they lead us about for a few hours first. And when things make me wonder i start getting paranoid. Only natural. " " Now. " He said, putting a cigarette in his mouth and lighting it. " If no one disputes my disassembled version of the matter, we can each have one of those sub-tasks. " Ronnie did seem to think that it would be as easy as that. It never was. First, they had to approach her without arousing suspicion from the surroundings. Second, since she was quite familiar with Vampire tricks, it was entirely possible that she was prepared for them somehow. She could have measures in place to prevent her from getting to the jewels while being a puppet. Third, the jewels themselves could be making her immune. He blew twin plumes of blue smoke through his nostrils. " Whoever meets the target should have means to make her more agreeable, ant to improvise if the usual does not work. Whoever deals with the competition must have the means to stir them away from the target, preferably without exposing themselves. Whoever steals the jewels needs to have experience with theft, swift fingers, pickpocketing, and so on. " " So. " He looked around. " This is the point where the talk i had mentioned in the sitting room comes into play. Think hard on your set of skills. Think what each task needs for success. " " Each of us can take one of these tasks. The last one, the back up in case our employers try to stab us in the back, we can share that between us. With that out of the way, which of the four duties would you prefer ?" " Personally, i can do the approaching the target or distracting the competition, but how about you ?" |
